IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The Yorkville Bass Master xm200 and xm200T have been designed with the needs of profes-
sional bass guitar players in mind. We believe you will find your
Yorkville Bass Master xm200 or
xm200T to be dependable and versatile for years to come.
Tuner Out Jack
This is an instrument-level output ideal for connecting an electronic guitar/bass tuner.
0dB and -6dB Inputs
These are the instrument inputs. Use the 0dB input for bass guitars with normal, passive electron-
ics, like single-coil and humbucking pickups. Use the -6dB for hot or active pickups. These inputs
are not intended for connecting more than one instrument at a time.
Mute Button
The Mute button cuts off all audible signals, except for the output to the Tuner Out jack. This
enables you to tune your bass without having to adjust any settings on either the bass guitar or
xm200 (and the audience will not be able to hear you tuning)
.
Limiter
When engaged, the xm200s Limiter prevents audible power amplifier clipping (distortion). Unlike input
clip limiters, it does not affect the preamp stage at all. Instead, this Limiter ensures that output-stage clip
-
ping cannot endanger the speaker or tweeter. In a unique and comprehensive manner, it compares the
output to the available AC power (in technical terms, it reads the DC rail voltage) then, just before output
stage clipping occurs, the Limiter reduces signal levels sufficiently to prevent power amp distortion. This
permits the xm200 to remain cleaner at higher output levels, even when the AC line sags below normal.
Tip: With the Limiter engaged, the only way you can distort your xm200 is by overdriving the pre-
amp, which is quite acceptable for certain playing styles. This will not harm the drivers as long as the
Limiter remains engaged.
Volume
Set the Volume control for the level of sound desired. If unwanted distortion occurs, reduce the
Volume setting and/or the tone control settings (especially bass).
Tone Controls
Each tone control permits a wide range of adjustment. The four overlapping controls cover the
entire audio band. The
Bass adjusts the level of the lowest note frequencies, Low Mid the next
range up from that, Hi Mid covers the highest notes and middle harmonics and
Treble regulates
the upper harmonic range. The center setting on these tone controls is approximately neutral.
Tip: when starting out, it may be good ideas to center all tone controls, and then while you play,
adjust them for the desired sound.
Scoop
The Scoop control lets you blend in a unique sound alternative to provide a greatly expanded tonal
range. A setting of 0
provides no Scoop and a setting of 10 provides the maximum effect.
Tip: You may find that for best results with Scoop at higher settings, the tone controls should be at
settings closer to the center point.

The line-level signal at the Effects Send jack is post-fader and post-EQ (it is affected by the
Volume and all Tone controls). The Effects Send would normally be connected to the input of the
effects device with a shielded patch cord. When a plug is inserted in the Effects Return jack the
signal goes directly to the
xm200’s internal power amp. Technically, by inserting a ¼-inch plug into
the Effects Return, you are disconnecting the internal preamp signal going to the power amplifier
stage. The power amp can only receive signals routed through here (i.e. it isolates the power amp).
Use shielded patch cords for all inter-connections.
Tip: You can “slave” your xm200 to another amp. As an example, if you wanted to run two bass
amps for a large gig, you can simply run a shielded patch cable from the line output of the other amp
(possibly another
xm200) to the Effects Return of your xm200.
XLR Line/DI Output
This is your interface to the P.A. or recording console. Using an XLR mic cable or a shielded
patch cord with a female XLR connector on one end (balanced or unbalanced, e.g. a high or low-
impedance mic cable), connect the Line/D.I. Output to the input of the mixer. Electronic balancing
circuitry minimizes the possibility of hum or noises when the Line/D.I. Output is connected to a
mixer, even when the mixer does
not have balanced inputs. Also, this output can be made D.I. or
Line according to the selector button setting in the following section.
Line/D.I. Selector Button
The D.I. / Line selector switch enables you configure the behavior of the Line/DI Output.
In the D.I. setting, the button connects the Line/DI Output directly to the Input section thus bypass-
ing the
Volume control, Tone controls and Effects Send/Return circuitry. You would use the D.I. set-
ting in a recording or P.A. situation where the mixing technician requires a completely dry signal, as if
it were a DI box, Direct from the
Instrument.
In the
Line setting, the button connects the Line/DI Output to the final preamp stage so that the
Volume control, Tone controls and any connected effects all affect the signal. You would use the
Line setting when connecting the Line/DI output to the input of another amp perhaps for added stage
coverage, or to a recording or P.A. mixer where a dry signal is not required.
Tip: For most club PA situations, or for home recording, you would probably prefer the Line setting.
Phones
When a headphone plug is inserted into the PHONES jack, both the built-in speaker and the
Extension Speaker Output jack are disconnected. This permits silent practicing.
Power
The blue Power LED beside the Power switch will illuminate when the unit is on.
Extension Speaker Output (back Panel)
One or two extension speakers can be connected via the Extension Speaker Output jack on the
back panel. The minimum impedance of the external speaker load is 4-ohms (one 4-ohm extension
speaker or two 8-ohm extension speakers). The Extension Speaker jack is wired parallel with the
internal speaker so that the internal speaker (also 4-ohms) will continue to operate when an exten
-
sion cabinet is used.
Tip: The power amplifier is electronically, and thermally, protected against unsafe loads and will shut
down (rather than sustain damage) when the speaker load is too low. If a shutdown occurs, discon
-
nect the extension speaker and switch the power off. The
xm200 will be capable of powering back up
in a few minutes after it cools down.
